As a marketer, you want all of your digital content to make an impact.

From blog posts to email newsletters to social media channels, what you publish serves as a representation of your brand. And if your messaging doesn’t resonate, it’ll be harder to connect your ideal customers to your brand.

A crucial part of crafting an effective marketing plan is to know who exactly your target audience is. Once you identify your different marketing personas, generalized representations of your ideal customers, and know exactly who you are trying to reach, you can determine the best way to appeal to them through your content. Learn more about what interests them, how to relate to them, and what drives them so you can speak to them the right way.
